"L’Oreal’s fast-paced environment and entrepreneurial mindset challenged me to think
outside of my traditional process-driven approach and adapt quickly. From day one,
I was treated as a full-time employee who was empowered and expected to deliver high-quality
results. Michigan Tech prepared me to be successful in this role, as our curriculum
is focused on applying both interpersonal and analytical skills through practical
application.

I submitted my application to L’Oreal’s website in November and received an interview
for a role at their North Little Rock, Arkansas, facility in March. While the position
was not the right fit, I was still motivated to work at L’Oreal. I connected with
an HR recruiter on LinkedIn and continued the conversation, expressing my interest
in working for the top cosmetics group worldwide. A few messages back and forth and
two interviews later, I landed an internship in Indirect Sourcing!

It was my role to support both the logistics and industrial services teams in the
implementation of sourcing projects to optimize cost while enhancing overall value.
My main responsibility was to identify a transportation carrier who could deliver
product directly from our retail stores to our customers within the same day. To achieve
this, I followed the request for proposal process, which included data collection,
market analysis, supplier onboarding, supplier bid evaluation, negotiation, and contracting."Rachel Chard, 2018
